"The Instructor" is a classic example of Clement of Alexandria seeing the eating of animals as demonic in a number of passages, but allowable in others. To me this is further evidence of religious materials being revised by those who have controlled their access into society. Constantine published and circulated in the Roman Empire the New Testament as constructed by the Nicean Council in 325.  It contained numerous passages, particularly in the letters of Paul, though in the Gospels as well, numerous sanctions of profitable institutions such as that of the meat industry that accompanied the animal sacrifices in the temple, and of course, the institution of slavery. Constantine himself was as was the Roman empire, a trafficker in slaves. Added to the conquest of other lands was the subjugation of their people--which means the enslavement of that people--to do what the Empire commanded, to work in the fields, to make and repair roads, to secure the animals that were to be sacrificed.

"Those, then, who are trained by the Word are restrained from the use of crowns; and do not think that this Word, which has its seat in the brain, ought to be bound about, not because the crown is the symbol of the recklessness of revelry, but because it has been dedicated to idols.  Clement of Alexandria, "The Instructor" (also titled "The Teacher" and "The Pedagogue."
